Still spot on..

I recall a conversation @1986..

A friend was after a black panda with tinted windows..
A ' miniature R.R.'

Back then the R.R. was just as boxy as the panda..

Still good after all these years.
( I suspect the survival rate is in the pandas favour..)

There are loads of 169s around my way and not a few later models. The roads are narrow so any Panda makes much sense. The roads are generally slow so Panda makes even more sense.

At the other end of the scale we are not short of Range Rovers, Discos and Landies of all types. TBH most of them are too big for the lanes and cause mucho frustration as there are no grass verges to "use".

Friend and neighbour Brian and his wife took delivery of a blue 4x4 2014 model a couple of weeks ago. It looks like new. That makes 6 in the village. Out of 600 odd households that's not bad. There is the odd Multipla and quite a few Puntos and a couple of Bravos as well.

Record is now 54 Pandas in a day. Fascinating how many there are in Chesterfield. Many more than anywhere else we go.

We now analyse the models and the colours. All very sad behaviour.....

There are 3 Panda 1.2 here at my girlfriends parking lot. I think all of them are before 2006, since we all have blue Fiat logo's (It was changed to the new read one in 2006).
There where not many, when I was on the road ealier today. Maybe 3, including me. So 5, which is low around here.


We are two in my own housing community, Both 1.2L, but the other one have big mirrors, so I think it is a late model.

Merry Christmas everyone

The record stands at 53 in a day. Thats over 157 miles. I now know where so many live its easier to get the numbers up.

Hot spots for Pandas
1 Chesterfield
2 Norwich
3 Dover

I am building statistics. How sad is that.

Favourite Panda reg to date F14T PH seen in the Alps last year by one of my ring of international Panda Spotters. Thinking of buying F14T PC but its a pretty big waste of over £500.

Just come back from a trip to Switzerland travelling round on their trains. Fab trip. On one day we went by train just into Italy at Tirano, and sat at a pavement café (first decent capuchino) and watched Panda after Panda after Panda drive by, nearly all 4x4s and/or Cross. Many of them in St Moritz, Arosa and Davos as well. Clearly the best thing on four wheels easily outnumbering, the likes of Range Rovers, Porches, Jags and the "posh" 4x4s. We will soon be planning a trip back there with our 4x4. Can't wait to do all the little mountain roads around our base at Tiefencastle especially if we get some SNOW

Back in 2003, I had a week riding motorbikes around the Aosta Valley area of the Alps. Every other car was an Uno or Mk1 Punto. Both much the same size as a Mk2 Panda so no surprise they are so popular..
